The Manchester United gaffer has also made no secret of his apparent disdain for Stamford Bridge’s latest hero, criticising Conte’s style of play on numerous occasions after reacting badly to October’s 4-0 defeat.

But his former Blues player Ferreira reckons Conte has exactly what it takes to become another legend, adding that the club are targeting an incredible five consecutive league titles.

The now-Chelsea assistant loan coach, who played for Mourinho at the Bridge as well as Porto, told the Evening Standard: “It’s massive for a manager to come to the best League in the world and, like Mourinho did, win the title in his first season.

“There are still many points to play for but I hope it will happen under Antonio. Can he build something similar to what Jose did and sustain it? This is a big club that plays to win trophies. Everyone involved wants to go the same direction, to succeed.
